Abstract:

Characteristics were determined for a twin-engine jet aircraft with the following configurations 1 eight-lobe exhaust noise suppressors, 2 eight-lobe nozzles and ejectors, and 3 the unmodified aircraft. In-flight sound pressure levels measured on the ground under the flight path were reduced 5 to 6 decibels by the suppressors. Similar reductions in perceived noise level occurred. Increases in total drag coefficient of 3 and 7 percent and decreases in specific range of 5 to 14 percent were found to result from the suppressor configurations. Author
